Chapter 156: The Way Home (10)
When Xue Wanche woke up, it was already the morning of the second day. A ray of the sun's bright light shone diagonally from the door of the military tent, and happened to shine on Xue Wanche's face. Because of this pale golden sunlight, Xue Wanche's pale face didn't look so ugly. He slowly opened his eyes, but his eyes hurt a little because of the sunlight again.
"General! You're awake, you're scared to death. ”
The general Xue Bao saw Xue Wanche open his eyes and screamed excitedly, Xue Bao, who hadn't slept all night, looked a little haggard, and was frightened all night, and when he saw Xue Wanche wake up, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart for a while and cried. He is the head of the Xue family, and he grew up with Xue Wanche since he was a child. When it was said that Xue Shixiong sent him to pull Xue Wanche back, he was scolded by Xue Wanche and had to follow Xue Wanche to save people. He didn't dare to go back to see Xue Shixiong, and he was even more worried about Xue Wanche's safety.
Yesterday, General Yan's personal soldiers carried Xue Wanche back, saying that he had been poisoned. Xue Bao was frightened, but fortunately, General Yan had a Dugu lieutenant who was good at detoxification.
"Xue Bao?"
Xue Wanche frowned slightly, feeling that the pain in his throat was like a dry riverbed, and it seemed to be cracked. The hoarse voice was not like his, but rather like the voice of a ghost who had just woken up. The first thing I felt when I woke up was a hot pain in my throat, and the pain in my stomach was not so obvious in comparison. Then there was no strength in his body, and he couldn't even lift his arms.
"I'm not dead?"
Xue Wanche asked hoarsely.
Xue Bao hurriedly took a bowl of water and helped Xue Wanche take a few sips.
"General, you are blessed with a great life and great creation, how can you die? But General, when General Yan's own soldiers sent you back yesterday, they frightened me. Fortunately, the poison has been cured. ”
"Poison?"
After taking a few sips of water, Xue Wanche felt a little better. He motioned for Xue Bao to help himself up and sit down, and then shook his head slightly, feeling as if there was a pot of water in his head swaying back and forth, and it hurt terribly.
"Am I poisoned?"
Xue Wanche asked after sobering himself up for a moment.
"General, you don't know?"
Xue Bao asked in surprise.
Xue Wanche remembered that before he passed out, there was a pain in his stomach as if there was a knife stirring, and the pain was so intense that he quickly fell to the ground and passed out. If you think about it, it must be poisoning. But how did you get poisoned? Also, since he was poisoned, why didn't he die?
"Xue Bao, tell me about it again, I drank at General Dugu yesterday, why did I get poisoned? What about Yanyun? What about Dugu Zhen? ”
Hearing Dugu Zhen's name, Xue Bao's face changed in anger: "General, why do you still mention that wicked man!" ”
He said angrily: "It's Dugu Zhen who poisoned your and General Yan Yun's wine, if it weren't for the fact that Captain Dugu under General Yan Yun knows medical science, I'm afraid that you and General Yan will be harmed by that damn Dugu Zhen!" Yesterday, Dugu Ruizhi, a captain under General Yan, stayed here for half the night to make sure that you were not in danger before rushing back to take care of General Yan. ”
"Yan Yun is also poisoned?"
Xue Wanche was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that before he fell unconscious, he seemed to have seen Yan Yun also staggering down. He remembered again, it seems that Dugu Zhen fell first. Since Dugu really poisoned Yan Yun and himself, why did he pour it himself?
"What about Dugu Zhen?"
Xue Wanche asked in a weak voice.
Xue Bao gritted his teeth and said, "It's dead!" ”
"Dead?!"
Xue Wanche's heart jumped suddenly, and there was an instant buzz in his mind, the sound was like the waves of the sea, and it felt as if he had been slapped by the waves. His mind was blank for a moment. It took him a while before he came to his senses, took Xue Bao's hand and asked, "Why did Dugu Zhen die?" ”
"He deserves it!"
Xue Bao gritted his teeth and said, "In order not to make General Yan and General Yan suspicious, he also poisoned his wine. However, he had the antidote on him, and I don't know why, he collapsed before he could eat it, and it is said that his own soldiers thought he had drunk too much and gave him a lot of water. Hey! Captain Dugu said that the more you drink water, the faster the poison will attack. The antidote was on him, but unfortunately he didn't have the strength to pull it out himself, and he laughed to death. ”
As soon as Dugu really died, Xue Bao felt relieved.
"Dugu Zhen also arranged an ambush outside the tent, planning to kill both you and General Yan. Hey, people are doing it, and the sky is watching! Did he not poison himself by his own iniquity? General, you don't know, Dugu Zhen was poisoned and shouted for his own soldiers to hack you and General Yan to death, and many people heard it at that time. And those pro-soldiers really dared to do it! At that time, General Yan thought that Duguzhen's personal soldiers mutinied and ran over to save him, but General Yan fell with the poisonous surname, and Duguzhen's personal soldiers wanted to kill General Yan, but fortunately, Captain Xiongkuohai arrived with people and slaughtered all those damn things! ”
"Rejoice! Such scum should be killed! ”
Xue Bao said with a spittle.
"Really......"
Xue Wanche only felt that he was very tired, and he didn't want to say a word. Seeing that he was tired, Xue Bao hurriedly helped him lie down and said, "General, you rest for a while, and I'll go find Captain Dugu." He told me before he left, and if you woke up, go and call him at once. ”
"Go for it......"
Xue Wanche seemed to be weak and didn't want to speak, he nodded slowly and couldn't help but continue: "Look at General Yan...... What do you think. ”
Xue Bao saw that Xue Wanche was fine, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!" I'll go now. ”
After Xue Bao came out of the tent, Xue Wanche slowly closed his eyes. At this time, his heart felt as uncomfortable as if he had blocked a big rock. Compared with the suffocation in my heart, the pain in my throat and the headache are nothing. He knew that Li Xian was definitely not a complete victim as Xue Bao said. It's just that Dugu's real death is indeed self-inflicted, and it's no wonder Li Xian. He didn't know that the poison was actually given by Li Xian, and he took it for granted that since Dugu could really hide the ambush soldiers and poison the wine, it would be nothing.
It's just that I didn't expect that the wicked have their own evil fruits, and God was watching it, and he was actually poisoned and attacked early, and he didn't even have time to eat the antidote.
In order to kill me and Yan Yun, first ambush the soldiers and then poison them, the people of the Dugu family are really ruthless, and the guy from the Dugu family who is in charge of the criminal department is also a sinister and vicious person.
However, what is Dugu Zhen for?
Xue Wanche was in a very bad mood, because he found that the original friendship of life and death had become worthless in the face of power and merit. He could guess why Dugu Zhen did this, he was also from a family, and he knew what power and merit meant to a child of a well-born family. The Dugu family is a first-class family in the Great Sui, and it is not something that their Xue family can compare. But fortunately, this is the case, and there are a lot less dirty things of intrigue in the Xue family. Moreover, several of his brothers are very harmonious.
Dugu is really hateful, but it is not a pity to die.
But...... What about Yanyun? Was Dugu's death really accidental? Obviously, Yan Yun's heavy infantry from the vast sea to Dugu Zhen's camp must be guarding Dugu Zhen. Moreover, when he and Yan Yun came out, Yan Yun said that he didn't know if there was urine escape in the Art of War, although this sentence sounded like a joke, but now that he thinks about it, Yan Yun seems to be very helpless in his tone.
He didn't plan to take the initiative!
Xue Wanche thought that if Yan Yun wanted to take the initiative, he could completely adjust the vast sea to capture Dugu Zhen. He can even kill people while drinking, after all, Yan Yun knew that Dugu Zhen had set up an ambush outside the tent. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to leave, and he took me with him because it was inconvenient to break it.
Xue Wanche opened his eyes and gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Yan Yun is still too soft-hearted, if such a person really has the heart to rebel, will he succeed?
He thought of Dugu Zhen again, Dugu Zhen was ruthless, but in the end he died in front of Yan Yun, who seemed to be a woman's kindness. Is this providence, or is it inevitable? The Great Sui has always been known to establish the country with benevolence and filial piety, but is benevolence and filial piety really tenable? Among the nobles in the Great Sui court, which one has any benevolence, righteousness and virtue? Even Your Majesty...... Thinking of this, Xue Wanche suddenly woke up, what's wrong with me, how can I be so rebellious!
……
……
Just when Xue Wanche was thinking nonsense, Li Xian was drinking in his military tent, and this time it was not poisonous wine, nor was it the bad wine of the Goguryeo people. He was enjoying a rare pot of Western Regions wine, which he had accidentally discovered while fighting the fortress. There was not much wine, only a small wooden barrel, and when Wang Qinian found it, he keenly realized that this was a good opportunity to make a sycophant, so he immediately sent it to Li Xian.
Li Xian can have leisure and leisure in wine tasting, which means that he is fine, very good.
Of course he was poisoned, at least as others looked. There was no poison in his body at all, not because he had taken an antidote beforehand, but because the poisoning was simply something he pretended to deceive. Li Xiancai will not taste the taste of poison himself in order to calculate a Dugu Zhen, even if he himself is a master of poison now, even if there is a Dugu Ruizhi by his side, he will not be so stupid as to drink a little poisonous wine himself. When it comes to the safety of his own life, Li Xian's courage has always been very small.
Dugu Zhen was poisoned, Xue Wanche was poisoned, he fell, although he was not poisoned, but in the eyes of everyone, it was natural to think that he was also poisoned.
When Dugu Zhen arranged for people to ambush, the Flying Tiger spy arranged by Li Xian in the shadows had already been discovered. In fact, before Xue Wanche looked for Li Xian, Li Xian already knew what Dugu really planned to do.
The reason why he went and chose to get rid of Dugu Zhen in such a way was because he really didn't want to attack Xue Wanche. Li Xian is a villain who has revenge, and he is also a gentleman who knows how to repay his kindness. Xue Shixiong helped him, he always remembered. Moreover, Xue Wanche didn't have the heart to deal with himself from beginning to end, besides, Li Xian still planned to pull him into his camp.
"General, Dugu really didn't leave any of his own soldiers, and they were all killed."
Xiong Kuohai said with a smile: "My subordinates didn't expect him to send it to the door by himself." ”
Li Xian smiled slightly, noncommittal.
Xiong Kuohai said in the morning that the soldiers should be charged with crimes, so that they would be further away from the Great Sui. And the idea that Xiong Kuohai came up with was to kill Dugu Zhen. However, after a long way from the strategy of the vast sea, it did not have the effect of making the soldiers bear the charges.
"General, Xue Bao is here, saying that General Xue has woken up."
Wang Qinian walked in from outside and said in a low voice.
Li Xian asked, "Has Dugu gone?" ”
Wang Qinian said: "Captain Dugu has gone. ”
Li Xian stood up and said, "I'll go and see it too." ”
He smiled and walked out, his face calm.
